How to work it out

  1. Difference: 95 − 88 = 7
  2. Divide by the starting value: 7 ÷ 88 = 0.079545
  3. Multiply by 100: 7.9545%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 88 × (1 + 0.079545) = 88 × 1.079545 = 95.

In a spreadsheet: =(95-88)/88*100. Always divide by the starting value, not the new one. A rise from 40 to 50 is +25%, but the fall from 50 back to 40 is −20%.

What the result means

The new value is 1.0795 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 107.9545.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $88 to $95 has gone up by 7.9545%.

Why the change back is different

A 7.9545% rise followed by a 7.9545% fall does not bring you back to 88: it gives 87.4432. The second percentage is taken of 95, not of 88, so to undo this change you need 7.3684% instead.
